    Metronidazole works by disrupting the DNA synthesis of microorganisms, leading to their death. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria and some protozoa.

    ### Administration

    ### Side Effects
    Common side effects may include:
    - Nausea
    - Diarrhea
    - Headache
    - Dizziness
    - A metallic taste in the mouth

    Serious side effects can include allergic reactions, seizures, and peripheral neuropathy. It is essential to avoid alcohol during treatment, as it can cause a disulfiram-like reaction, leading to severe nausea and vomiting.

    ### Precautions
    Patients with liver disease or those taking certain medications should use metronidazole with caution. Always consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
